RESUMO

Ornithine carbamoyltransferase synthesis is subject to two major regulatory systems in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. One system is specific for the arginine biosynthetic enzymes, whereas the other appears to be general, acting on a variety of other amino acid pathways as well. We observed that the synthetic capacity for continued ornithine carbamoyltransferase synthesis had the same short half-life (ca. 5 to 7 min) whether repression of enzyme production was brought about by action of the specific or general control system. We present evidence suggesting that both control systems regulate accumulation or ornithine carbamoyltransferase-specific synthetic capacity, rather than modulating its expression.
